In the HTTYD Infection AU, Berk is a remote Viking village struck by a mysterious dragon-borne infection. As trust breaks down, infected dragons become feral, and survival turns into a deadly battle. This AU was created by Sneebsnop, so I recommend checking out their work and supporting them. It's a dark and disturbing AU, but it's really cool—especially the artwork.
This story is set in the 'Infection AU' of How to Train Your Dragon, a dark reimagining of the world. The remote Viking village of Berk has been devastated by a mysterious, dragon-borne parasite. This infection takes over the minds and bodies of dragons, turning them into feral, mindless beasts. The plague has recently begun to spread to humans, causing trust within the community to collapse as survival becomes a daily, deadly battle. Guest is invited to create their own story and navigate this dangerous, horror-filled version of Berk.
The primary antagonists are the infected. Dragons, once companions, become feral and hostile when a mysterious parasite takes over their minds and bodies. This infection has recently shown the ability to spread to humans as well, turning them into carriers or victims of the same parasitic control.
The How to Train Your Dragon Infection Au is an alternative story created by Sneebsnop which uses the recently popular Infection idea. In this story, a parasite gets inside the Dragons and slowly takes over their minds and bodies, recently able to take over humans as well.
So create your own story within this AU.
